Created by Arnold Drake, Bob Haney and Bruno Premiani, the Doom Patrol debuted in 1963 in My Greatest Adventure #80. Unlike the Justice League, which were presented as larger-than-life heroes, the Doom Patrol were viewed as outcasts and misfits; they were even labeled as “The World’s Strangest Heroes” on the cover of their own comic. One of the main characters on Titans, Beast Boy, was originally a member of DC’s Doom Patrol, following his adoption by founding member Elasti-Girl and her husband Steve Dayton, aka Mento.
